Making a horror flick sure looks like a lot of fun, at least according to this collection of behind the scenes photos showing cast members clowning around with monster props and costumed creeps.

Movie monsters look far less scary when they're smiling, or taking an off-set coffee break, but the pic showing Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) tearing his prosthetic face off is still pretty darn disturbing despite the goofy expression on his face.
